:lol: zip doesn't know me :facepalm:

i don't think my camera is good enough to show the difference. i gladly give it a try tomorrow. maybe i stand a chance in good daylight/sunlight tomorrow. i should have remembered gdeal's pic showing the deck plate much more 'silvery' than the rest of the deck. and when i took a closer look just now i can see some unevenness in the finish where the chrome must have been sprayed on while deck 2 has a matte, very even look.

Would be good to see the decks but the light is often bad here too, It's good you now have yours from everything you are saying it all sounds like right. I just hope after all this time when mine comes it is SS and actually works on a Semo?

So this is the update from FT:

Now, the waiting game begins… :what:

Hope it gets dispatched sooner FT must of shifted alot of GT's, I was on the other side of the demand curve ordered 18 Nov, delivered 14 Dec then we had brass gate and my deck has just left Singapore today so another 2 weeks or less to wait I hope.

I have been playing the waiting game far too long, I bought another clone from FC we shall see what that one is like.

Kind of off topic but did anybody get a replacement kayfun 3.1 clone atty instead of just the new ss parts?

I got kind of excited when I first saw this thinking they were sending 2 complete TGT's and 2 ss bases (then I noticed the 2 TGT's were cancelled), but it does look like they are sending a complete ss 3.1 clone???



I ordered mine 6 Dec, left Singapore on the 8 Jan another 2-3 weeks? ;) Do we know for sure they will be SS

With FT.....heavens no :lol:

But is sounds like the ones starting to show up are ss.

The brass doesn't really bother me, it hasn't stop me from using the crap out of them so far :D.....but it will be nice to have all ss and give me two bases to see what I can create modding them :D

it indeed does look like they are sending you whole 3.1, bonus ;)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news. I got the same info from FT on the 3.1. They said they have notations in the order that these are for the three parts only, not the whole unit....

"We don’t have a specific SKU number for the spare parts, so they listed as SKU 1494700(a remark is made to send the 3 stainless steel parts of 1494700) and actually they are not in stock at present. If there are other items that you need to ship first in this order, please contact with us, we will arrange as per your request."

lol The same day that they sent the ticket, my order shipped. I'll post again on this when I receive it in one to four weeks. ;)

Sorry I meant the KF 3.1 with all the tickets about the broken 510 pins, plated brass block etc are all the parts now SS

I only stopped smoking in Oct and placed my 1st order with FT in Nov, it was probably a bad time given what I know now from the fall out with HKP and peak shipping volumes during Xmas. I lurked on the forums for a while and given my funds short-listed a few RBA's having had hell with tanks and gear. Gave up smoking and bought a eGoV- V2 VV clone (I didn't know it was at the time) fell apart in a day, mis fired all the time and wouldn't fire when the battery was less than 50% it lasted a week, then I got a new Innokin SVD which started to die after 3-4 weeks trigger button collapsed then the 510 insulator broke down causing a short or no connection.

The iClears and Kanger PT II's were leak and flood monsters sure I only vape high VG juices but not matter what I did it didn't work out recoil, replace wicks, modify etc it was really frustrating.

So after I short listed a few recommended RBA's next step was where to get them FT i thought bargain prices and given my engineering background I like a challenge no worries there it is just problem solving.

I have no vaping track record and had to start somewhere so I ordered KFL, TGT and KF 3.1 clones thinking once I get my vape skills I can have some vaping fun seeking the nirvana.

It's been tough so far ordered the TGT 18 Nov, KFLs 2+4 Dec and the KF 3.1 6 Dec from FT yes it has been Xmas and New Year and yes shipping to the UK via the Swiss Alps takes some time.

Both my KFLs have made it here this week I am liking them alot, sure the screws rust but easily fixed, maybe there are no issues with the brass deck but call me nervous after smoking for so long. I can always treat the brass deck now I have been told you can so that is an option if FT don't come through. I think the delays with the FT KF were all the reported problems with plated brass parts and some received broken ones too so FT needed to sort it out before fulfilling new orders.

Vaping has taught me patience, the very first coil for the KFL clone was so rewarding you soon realise when you are seeking the vaping nirvana the journey may take a little long but is sure worth it.

Vape on!

Re the TFT base: I have been around so much lead, mercury,ect during my years that a bit of plated brass doesn't really bother me much. But seeing I could get an extra TFT base for free I jumped on it 'cause I like spare parts. Now I have "The Dripper" coming from SmokerStore and it will fit nicely on that base that they are sending me.
As for the three parts for the Kayfun, it looks like they may be sending a complete unit but I think they simply had no other way to list it, we will see.

Now if I can only figure out how to "dispose" those two Tobeco Aqua clones that are coming today, they are banned from ECF classifieds and I have two of the "other" ones coming from FT. I should have kept the two originals that I had I guess.

Note: I'm not trying to sell them here
